Anyway if your target is to build for the wider range of machines you can I
suggest you two roads:

1) Build with a old distro
2) Build with autopackage gcc extension (apgcc), look at autopackage.org for
details.

The second option is better, I've used it in my last commercial game port
and got about 0 installation problems, while the previous attempt that used
1 got a lot of installation related problems.

apgcc is a script that removes dipendencies from newer version of glibc,
disabling stack check and forcing the use of OLD symbols for locale and
other glibc apis evolved in 2.2 and 2.3. It also optionally statically link
some x11 libs, strips unneeded dependencies in link stage, and sets rpath
for library loading in the correct way for loading libraries from a local
path without having to mess with LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
